Someone with a million dollars, euros, pounds or pesos is a millionaire. No one (Okay maybe Satoshi) has a million Bitcoins and probably never will.
So what's someone with BTC1000 called? A thousandaire? There's got to be a better name. 'Bitcoin Whale' is just so meaningless and some people don't consider BTC1000 a whale anyways.
What should we call a Bitcoin thousandaire?
Update: We should come up with a name for someone with a thousand Bitcoins. Why, you ask? We need to stop converting Bitcoins to fiat and vice versa. Treat it as a currency or a vessel to hold your wealth. Saying someone with 1000 Bitcoins is 'someone with $400,000USD' will be pointless at some point in our lifetimes.
Let's come up with a name so we stop comparing Bitcoins to fiat. You wouldn't tell someone with 10M pesos that because they're worth less than dollars they aren't a millionaire based on American dollars. You also wouldn't compare USD to gold anytime someone brought up how much a house costs.
Me: "Hey Bill. I'm buying the big house at the top of the hill for $1,000,000"
Bill: "Oh so like 25kg of gold?"
That's just ludicrous. No one compares different currencies or vessels of wealth as much as Bitcoiners. Let's stop it by coming up with basic terms.

Hahah, this topic is very funny huh and interesting. Well, I will call someone who has a thousand bitcoin as bitcoin addict. Because seriously, how did he earned that? Through casinos, gambling, investing? How much of his time was spent just for him to have that huge amount of bitcoin right? Or maybe he is just so rich or a good procastinator.
But some people are greedy and that will be really hard to wait for them to have that much Bitcoin so that is bad.
